Plenty of nerds in my family. Although I was always one of the best hockeyplayers in my age group, it was always Math first...

A perfect analogy for Nurse is a Chess player. I see IQ and awareness as two separate metrics.

Awareness is analogous to learning to play better and know what to do in specific situations, how to handle situations, and what might be the best thing to do in each situation.

IQ, on the other hand, is more so instinctive (like you guys mentioned, HOWEVER, I see awareness as apart from IQ, IMO). I'm thinking more along the borderlines of creativity and setting the bar when it comes to the highest/higher IQ level (Orr, Crosby, Roy, McDavid, Lidstrom).

In Chess, you can always learn new strategies, new methods of attacking, defending, openings, etc. You can always get better by every game played. However, when it comes to the end of a game, the guys that have the most creativity and the best instinctive tactical approaches always come out on top.

Now as for Nurse, I honestly think it's his risk assessment and situation analysis that needs to be improved. His Hockey IQ is there offensively (we has seen him join rushes, DEVELOP rushes, and chances in the past), however, his defensive IQ is meh IMO (not really creative within his own zone in terms of zone exits). HOWEVER, I think that by developing his awareness to a higher degree (remember those terrible, pointless, terrible gaffs he made last season, cause I can name a few?), hopefully capitalizing and expanding upon Wednesday's performance, he could very well be a solid player.

*Note that this is an old post from me from about a year ago, so last year/season = 2 years ago and Wednesday's performance = regular season game from a year ago; other than that, I thought it was fitting to repost*

Great analogy, man
I used to play chess a lot. A somewhat weird combo though - chess and hockey

Huh. The desktop version hasn’t worked for me for two days now. Makes using this site a (frank)ing female dog.

They need to go away from the mobile site all together and focus on updating the actual site so it’s not poopty.
